Transition metalsTransition metals
• Not as reactive as Group IA (1), IIA (2) metals and aluminum.
• d-block elements
• Except for palladium, all have either one or two s electrons in the outer shell.
• They only differ in the number of d electrons in n-1 energy level.
• Most have high melting and boiling points, high density, and are hard and strong.
• Multiple oxidation states are common.

Transition metal trendsTransition metal trends
Reason for trends.Reason for trends.
• All show that attractions between atoms are strong.
• Strongest attractions are when the orbitals are half filled.
• Overlap of orbitals that contain one electron results in a covalent bond between atoms.
• Since metals at either end of a period have the fewest unpaired electrons, bonding is not as strong.

Oxidation states.Oxidation states.
• The number of oxidation states also reaches a maximum near the center of each series.
• They can vary by only one unit whereas nonmetals typically vary by two.
• For metals on the left side, both the nnss and ((nn-1)-1)dd electrons can be involved in reactions.
• Because elements near the middle of each transition series have many oxidation states, much of the chemistry of these elements involves redox reactions.

Formation of complexesFormation of complexesand coordination compoundsand coordination compounds
Formation of complexes is a characteristic property of transition metals.
•The most easily observed property of transition metal complexes is color.
•The color is dependent on the identity of the central atom, its oxidation state and the type of ligand.
Coordination compounds.Coordination compounds.Those that include one or more complexes.

• Alfred Werner studied the formation of coordination compounds of platinum.
• He found that one mole of platinum(IV) chloride would combine with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 moles of ammonia.

PtCl4.3NH3
PtCl4.4NH3
PtCl4.5NH3
PtCl4.6NH3
This format was used to show the proportions of PtCl4 and NH3 that had combined.

• Werner observed that the reactivities of the five coordination compounds differed.
• For example, addition of silver nitrate resulted in differing amounts of AgCl being formed.
PtCl4.2NH3 (aq) + excess Ag+ no reaction
PtCl4.3NH3 (aq) + excess Ag+ 1 AgCl
PtCl4.6NH3 (aq) + excess Ag+ 4 AgCl
This indicated that some of the chlorides must be bound to Pt.

• Werner also evaluated the arrangement of coordinated groups around the central atom.
• He found that for one of the platinum complex, [PtCl2(NH3)2], two different isomers were observed.
• This could only be explained if the geometry was square planer.

Stereoisomerism in complexesStereoisomerism in complexes
Some complexes exist in enantiomeric forms.
• To determine the number of forms that can exist, do the following.
• Draw or use a model kit to develop different geometric forms for your complex.
• Make a mirror image for each geometric isomer.
• If the model and its mirror image can be superimposed, they represent the same compound
• If they can’t be superimposed, they represent different compounds.

Nomenclature of complexesNomenclature of complexes
• In the name of a complex, the ligands are named first in alphabetical order.
• Prefixes are used to indicate the presence of multiple ligands of the same type
• The metal is then given followed by its oxidation state.
• For anionic complexes, the metal name is modified with an -ate-ate ending. Latin names are used in some cases.
• There are no spaces between the various parts of the name.

Crystal field theory.Crystal field theory.• Explains both the colors and magnetic
properties of complexes.• It was originally applied to metal ions in
crystalline solids, which accounts for the name.
According to the theory -According to the theory -Electrostatic attractions between the positive central metal ion and the ligands bonds them together, lowering the energy of the whole system.

Octahedral complexesOctahedral complexes
• d orbitals are degenerate for isolated gaseous metal ions - have the same energy.
• In complexes, this is not always the case.
• For octahedral, the ligands can be viewed as approaching the central species along the x-, y- and z- axes.
• The ligands will then interact with the d orbitals.
• Since the x2-y2 and z2 orbitals are closer to incoming ligands, they are affected more.

Crystal field splitting can be confirmed by looking at the paramagnetism of a complex.
Electron pairingElectron pairing
• If the split is large, electrons will pair at the lower level before populating the upper level - strong field or low spinstrong field or low spin.
• If the split is small, they will fill all of the orbitals before attempting to pair up- weak field or high spinweak field or high spin.

approach the central species along the x- and y- axes.
• The energy of the x2-y2 orbital will be raised the most because it lies along the x and y axes.
• The xy orbital will also also be raised but not as much.
• The z2 orbital can’t be predicted.• Overall, we end up with 4 energy levels.

• For most transition metals, we have partially populated d orbitals.
• For a free atom, the energy required to move an electron from one electronic level to another is very large. It corresponds to the vacuum UV region.
• The energy of the crystal field split is much smaller and often corresponds to the energy of visible light.
